Carlos’ Barber Shop 2

My son is joining the Civil Air Patrol an had to cut his long hair! He was so nervous, but Star made him feel extremely comfortable and she did an AMAZING job! Thanks Star! We will definitely be back

Great barbers, they know how to cut hair. Always bring my boys here and always satisfied.

Great place to get a fresh cut. It’s hard to find a place where everyone does a good job. Always staffed great customer service

Skip this place! I first came years ago and was let down big time. Saw many good reviews later and gave it another shot, it was sightly better but still not GOOD. Recent visits have let me down again. I think I’ve had my hair cut by everyone that works there, they all suck except for a cat that’s only there a few hours on Saturdays. Ruben maybe, can’t recall his name, I’d give him a higher rating on his own, but the shop as a whole only gets two stars. Your hair will be shorter, but it will be a hack-​job.

Our family barber shop. The barbers there are always friendly and clean. The owner Carlos always thanks me for bringing in my boys after every visit. I feel that they all value our family and our business. Danny is my oldest sons barber, he always keeps him looking clean and fresh.
I appreciate the attention to detail that they provide, even for my youngest son.
Miriam sang twinkle twinkle and abcs while cutting my 4yrs hair today. Now they even groom and wax eyebrows.
Quality haircuts by talented caring crew.
My nephews come 30 min away just to see these guys.
Keep up the good work, you have clients for life!

Mario and Star are great people. I’ve been coming here for years starting at the original in MoVal. They run the shop the way his Grandpa would have wanted. Great service, great people and good prices. No matter how packed the place is you won’t wait any longer than 5 mins.

Unresponsive to what you are asking for, and the barber cut the back of my head and did not acknowledge it or apologize for it

They do a great job with my son and I. I have been coming here for a few years highly recommend this especially if you prefer the traditional barber shop atmosphere to franchise salon. Customer service is great.

Very happy with this spot. It was my sons first time having his hair cut by someone who wasnt a family member. Erika did a great job on his fohawk. Cant beat $ 12 either. I would def go back.

The service is quick, friendly and the haircuts are always pretty good. I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes to get faded, which is important to me.

Wow very disappointed today when all I needed was for my side undercut to be shaved down to a 1. This area only covers MAYBE ¹⁄₅ of my head and they wanted to charge $ 12…when I’ve gotten done for seven before. Good thing Sally’s Barber Shop (down a little further on Van Buren) could do it for $ 6. Sally’s staff was awesome and took care when handling my hair.

Beware of the young hat-​wearing Latina with a booth in the far rear corner. She drew blood from my ear with the clippers and didn’t follow very basic instructions.
You’ve been warned, gentlemen.

Always get a good cut here for my son. Staff is always nice which is not the case at alot of places. They have my business.

Really wish I could rate at least half a star. completely HORRIBLE fade on my hair don’t even understand how mad I am. making excuses why she messed up on my hair, customer service was also bad other employees TRY to say it’s a good fade. BS!!! can’t admit there wrongs and they still left me to pay for a shitty haircut no sorrys at all. if you’re actually looking for quality haircut and care for looks on your hair wouldn’t recommend this «barber shop». PS I’m 21 and I know young people care for there hair wouldn’t find anything good here

This is the spot. Ever since I moved to Riverside 4 years ago and discovered this gem, I refuse to get my hair cut any where else. Big up to Mario and his crew!

I’ve been coming here since they’ve opened and well I’ve just never have had a bad experience. Mario the shop owner is a true gentlemen and a family man, I’ve noticed people complaining about the price increase but there’s just no way to stay up with the demand and quality without one. I feel good spending the money not only to receive a superior haircut but to know my hard earn money is going to good people like Mario and his crew. Connie cut my hair today and well she is extremely pleasant and quite lovely, I would highly recommend however you can’t go wrong with anyone at this shop.
I just wouldn’t go anywhere else!

The haircuts are now $ 12. Over the last 2 years, the price rose from $ 9 to $ 12, a 33% increase. This is much more than the rise in CPI/​inflation. Based on this, they are no longer my default barber shop.

I have lived in Riverside for just under a year, but always got my haircut closer to where I work. But today for some reason I just couldn’t handle the hair tickling my ears so I decided to come to Unilocal and search for barbershops.
I chose Carlos’ because the price was around when I pay for my haircut normally and the reviews seem to be pretty good. I was not disappointed.
The only reason I did not give it five stars is because I would have loved the shaving cream and straight razor finish that I get at my normal barber shop for the same price. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would.
Other than that the place is great. The staff greeted me with good morning when I got there and said goodbye and to have a nice day when I left.
Oh, and my haircut? I got exactly what I wanted, and in no time flat.
There were quite a few people when I got there on a Saturday around 11 AM, but I was seated right away. it could be some of the people were done and waiting for their relatives or friends, or it could’ve been they were waiting for somebody specific. I don’t know. All I know is I was seated and out the door with the haircut I wanted in under 20 minutes.
Will definitely be back.

Always skeptical about trying a new barbershop and on my first visit I got Steve and right when he was done I knew I found a new barber! Been going for about a year now and every time I get a fresh cut I always get compliments! He is definitely worth the wait!

This place is always packed, but I can bring in my 3 boys and we are in & out with great cuts for them. One time my son got his hair cut and I thought it looked great, and the barber literally pulled him back in the chair and said wait i see an issue and fixed it. Crazy for $ 10 haircuts! The only issue I had one time, and it was not the shops fault so I’m not taking away a star, was another regular thought he was more important than the hand full of people waiting and tried to cut in front of 3 guys and some kids… but it was handled well by the staff.
Good job guys!!!
